Ulysses has the biggest crush on you, Erik Steven's twin sister. You have the same brown skin with those deep brown eyes that seem to have specks of gold in them when the sun hits them. You're curvy and have your hair cut short, dyed blonde, and matching gold teeth caps.
"Ulysses Klaue and Amari Stevens."
You move over to sit next to him, the professor continuing to call out the partners.
"You're on the soccer team right?"
"Yeah," Ulysses says.
"Dope. I went to one game last semester. It was nice."
Ulysses smiles.
"Make plans with your partner! This project is due at the end of the semester!"
"When are you free?" You ask.
"Tuesday and Thursday evenings and all day Saturday."
"I can do those days. Here's my number. Text me."
Ulysses watches as you type the number into his phone.
"Do you want to work at the cafe?"
"Nah, my place. I don't have a roommate so I have the space."
He nods as you two continue to talk.
Ulysses knocks on the door and it opens to reveal Erik. He raises an eyebrow.
"Yo! Sis! Why this boy here?"
"What boy!"
"Soccer boy."
"Oh, Ulysses? He and I have a project to work on. Let him in and then come back here so I can whoop your ass!"

Erik motions for him to enter and Ulysses takes in the apartment style dorm. There are framed art pieces and records on the wall leading to the living room.
The living room has a black and white theme with splashes of gold. You're in shorts and a sports bra, playing Erik in a game.
"I win!"
Erik curses but smiles.
"Now beat it Erik. I got work."
"Sure...work."
You hit him with a pillow and he laughs, grabbing his phone and kissing your cheek.
"See ya sis."
Ulysses sits and you grab your laptop.
"So, you did any reading?"
"A little."
"Bet: lets get to reading."

Ulysses blinks as he feels you lean on his arm. He smiles as you grunt.
"I can't read anymore and I'm starving. You?"
"Yeah, I'm getting hungry."
"You like Thai food?"
"Yeah."
You grab a menu and grab your phone. He picks what he wants and you order.
"Alright twenty minutes. Allegedly."
He smiles as you pick a tv show out. You plop back down and sigh.
"Where are you from? I meant to ask."
"South Africa. You?"
"Pops is from Wakanda. My mom is from Trinidad & Tobago and America."
"No wonder you're so pretty."
